Amazon to hire 75,000 Workers to Meet Surging Demand
According to the US Department of Labor, over 16.8 million American workers have lost their jobs and filed initial claims for unemployment benefits. This current calculation does not include those workers who have yet to file for unemployment benefits and does not include undocumented workers. Layoffs, furloughs, and pay cuts have swept our nation. Amid such a crisis, Amazon is seeing surges in demand. Amazon has solidified itself as an e-commerce giant and its current business model easily aligned with the COVID-19 social distancing orders. Amazon has already filled the 100,000 positions they posted last month and now they are hiring another 75,000.
